Well, we made an offer on a house and, lo and behold, it was accepted today!

So, pending inspections and the like… we are to close May 1. WHOOPIE!!!

I give you, 390 Fessner!

A weekend of good food!

With Maryellen laid up with back issues, I got to play cook this weekend.

First I made a pizza from scratch. It turned out fantastic. I love making a crust from scratch, adding oregano and pepper flakes right to the dough. And the pizza stone makes the crust just the right combo of crispy and chewey! Mmmmmmmm.

Pizza!!!

Then yesterday I made fish tacos. Loosely based on a Food Network recipe, they turned out so SO good. I’d never baked cod before, but seriously, this is one of the best things I’ve ever made!

I’m not afraid to admit it… ONIONS!!

I love Bill Raftery calling basketball games! The Xavier/WVU game tonight has been fantastic and his commentary has made it doubly-so!

Oh… and there has NEVER been a better call than “Send it in, Jerome!!!”

(bit of trivia there… the guy who threw Jerome Lane that pass, Sean Miller, is now Xavier’s head coach!)

Early ONIONS!

Happy Pi-day Friday!!

Phone photos

Random collection of photos from my phone… figured I should get them all backed up and archived since my phone is toast and being replaced by the lovely folks at Verizon tomorrow. There’s everything here from a black eye, to an Audi R8, to french toast to the UofM homecoming game!

Lotsa snow!!

I just spent 1:15 or so shoveling us out. I think we got about 7-8″ with some drifts by the side of the house to mid-thigh. Crazy! People just 20-30 miles west of us got an inch or two at most, and I’ve heard Cleveland area is getting up to 2 feet today! Quite the laser beam storm!

In honor of the Snow, I give you Jim Carrey on In Living Color, mocking Snow’s “Informer” (God, that was a great show…)
